(In Chinese) Based on the ublic health risk evaluation method, the health risks due to the gaseous c I uents containing chemicals and radionuclides from a ty ical coal-fued power plant are evaluated. The results indicate that the he Byth risks from chemical effluents are much more severe than that of radionuclides.

The~NO, were ad&bed into a char bed and~then reduced by the microwaves to nitrogen and carbon oxides. High removal rates of NO, near 98%, were observed in laboratory tests. A series of experiments were conducted to fiid the effect that microwave-induced regeneration of Nt+ saturated char had on the NO= adsorption capacity of char and the resultmg adso tion rate. During the g-cycle adso tion and reduction experiments, xc adsorption capacity of char increas3 from 10 to 30 g NO, per 100 g char.

Although there are sufficient technical means for preventing waste water from becoming seriously polluted, in practice the unplementation of prcventive measures lags far behind the possibilities. Many reasons can be suggested for this, such as ignorance and economic uncertainties, but very little research, if any, has been carried out into the way in which entrepreneurs’ behavtour can be influenced in ractical situations. In a pilot study in The Netherlands, the Institute for lnf and Water Management and Waste Water Treatment (RIZA) investigated the attitudes within garage firms, the environmental aspects of management in garages regarding the working procedures within the firms, and in what way they are influenced by the social environment.

Applied Energy, Combined heat and power systems often have financial advantages compared with the central generation of electricity and its transmission and distribution to the end user, plus some local source of heat rovision. Because the heat losses in central electricity generation and distn*Iiution are rejected to the atmosphere, it is always more efficient to use rimary fuels in CHP mode than in separate electricity and heat pr OBuction. This increased efficiency in utilisation of primary resources has significant consequences in the reduction of gaseous emissions per unit of us&l energy delivered to the end user. A further reduction in total UK emissions is possible if gas-fired CHP is installed as a replacement for coal-fired central electricity generatin stations. This study of the environmental benefits of CHP has considere % only gas-fired CHP technologies.
